The brother of a man who died on the A38 is petitioning to get rid of old road signs.

Trevor Gorman, 22, was one of three young men who tragically died when the van he was travelling home in collided with a road traffic sign on the A38 last June.

Experts at the inquest held into the deaths of Marshall Arnott, Zachary Graham and Trevor said the road sign was rigid and not designed to collapse upon impact – an aspect Trevor’s family have vowed to campaign about and change.

Now, his brother, Tyler, has set up a petition which he hopes will move things forward in getting the road signs replaced with new ones, which are designed to crumple on impact.

Tyler, 23, said Trevor’s close knit family is “missing a piece” since his death, and that they are “doing the best they can”.

He says he does not want another family to go through what he and the other families of those killed have experienced.
